Yeppers - the usual generic car sunday snaps

Ok I was bored so decided to take the Cup out for a bit of a burn, and Id take my camera too. Nothing special, but might interest some folks

Hehe, I dont have an issue with the covers at all. In my eyes theyre no more unsightly than ghey looking pods leaking washer fluid all over the road

I mean its not as if the washer pods are normally colour coded or anything. You would have thought renualt would have colour coded the blanks though I must admit

Zebrs · May 22, 2005

Great pics; loving that colour...when I decide to trade up it will be Inferno regardless of what the gf says!

I wasnt aware there was a difference in the surround colour between 182 and Cup?

Lagerlout · May 22, 2005

Yup. theyre a light grey colour on the 182s. Not to my taste either, but no big deal. Much darker on the 172/Cuphttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/Gaz2130/DSCN1954.jpg

Neil82 · May 22, 2005

You cant beat a silver (love the colour) 172 with Cup splitter imho, makes that 182 Cup look a bit crap imho.

Munson · May 22, 2005

^^ I do love the look of that car. Great photograph too.

Not too sure how a Cup can be spoiled, or look crap because it has black washer blanks, but each to their own

Chili Red · May 22, 2005

Ive never noticed the headlight surrounds..

It is a shame they didnt colour-code the washer blanks, they look much better on the 172 Cup. They dont make the car look crap though. I know the washer jets themselves are black, but at least they have a function.

I will ALWAYS love inferno

Munson · May 22, 2005

Im unsure about the Cup badge on the boot lid, just below the Clio badge. I stuck it on to see how it looks, but Im undecided. What do you guys think?

Wend · May 22, 2005

I love the colour mate!!! Really nice. Cool pictures as well.

Munson · May 22, 2005

I wasnt too happy with the photos really. A wash and a good tyre blacking were needed really.

JayR · May 22, 2005

Lovely colour that is!!!

JoelDee · May 22, 2005

Lovely mate I love the inferno red

bigmaddaz · May 22, 2005

Absoutely Luuuuuuuuuuuurve that colour!

telford_mike · May 22, 2005

friend of mine just ordered one of these in Inferno. Does look absolutely superb mate

Munson · May 22, 2005

Cheers for the comments guys, Id love to see a V6 in Inferno.

andy_leitch · May 22, 2005

yep V6 in inferno. no one has one in britain according to Jeremy Townsend. Be probably one of the most unique cars in britain.

Just not a fan of the colour, each to their own. Just love that 172 silver colour, wish mine was silver most of the time.

CHRIS172CUP · May 23, 2005

Nice car mate, same as my mates. Id get rid of those cup badges though, bit ghey looking imo!

rcp · May 23, 2005

Roy, you got the correct Cup badges at last then!

Munson · May 23, 2005

^^ LOL only took 4 months. Hats off to JT though, he really helped me outand had them sorted in no time at all

They are standard fit for the Cup though dude, and I like em

MarkCup · May 23, 2005

Nice pics Roy, glad youre liking it

dk · May 23, 2005

I used to love the colour until I saw it in the flesh at Brands and unfortunately, I dont like it anymore, but the pics are good.

Munson · May 23, 2005

Was it sunny at brands dave?

MarkCup · May 23, 2005

Bright sunny at Brands.

Your 2nd pic is how I remember it, not as bright and vivid as your avatar

Munson · May 23, 2005

^^ All the pics were taken in the same light. It reacts to direct sunlight. Pics 1,3,4,5,6 & 7 show the paint as it looked in direct sun. In the shade it takes on a more copperish tone - like in pics 2 & 8.

In any case, the colour isnt to everyones taste. But it isnt like Racing Blue - in that it does photograph accurately. The snaps where it appears vivid orange are how it looked when the button was pressed. Good or bad

Snaps 7 & 8 were shot within 10 seconds, with no change in light or car position...thats how Inferno reacts to the sun.

I have to agree with you there. When I saw it at Brands, it was not as bright as I was expecting.

It looks very bright in that avatar.
